Well, Noelle Obermeyer of the anti-Recallers gave us a hit for November:
"We've had people call back and say, 'I signed the petition, but I didn't know it was to recall the mayor.'"Yowza.
Noelle, here is what we would like you to do.
Make a list of all the individuals who give such asinine remarks, because we are heading to their homes and ripping their voter registration cards away from them. If some court finds that to be unconstitutional, then we will plant some illegally downloaded Justin Bieber mp3s on them, charge them with a felony and yank their voting privileges that way.
These people shouldn't be allowed to own bank cards, let alone be directing who should be running our Republic.
Oh, and by the way Noelle, THAT's your best situation for why the Anti's need more time?
Heck if I'm judge Bataillon I would throw you out of court and let you know that, tough luck, that one goes down as a "Signed the Petition".
And we all saw the OWH's analysis of the signatures. Of course the OWH has their own bias going into this, and clearly are just trying to influence the court here. Let's not pretend that they, or anyone else involved in this entire matter, is above reproach.
And then the OWH also published their, "Looky who signed!" article. They focus on Dave Nabity and some restaurateurs.
Then at the end they note KFAB jocks (spinning the hits of the 60's, 70's & 80's!) Tom Becka, Gary Sadlemyer and Jim Rose.
So, while we haven't had the time (or inclination) to scan the 39,000 names for everyone we can think of, we noticed they didn't list any World Herald employees that may have signed.
You know, for a little balance.
Or maybe they just didn't realize that their signature was to recall the Mayor...
And speaking of media guys against Mayor, how about Aida Amoura freezing out KMTV for some bad story, but not the KFAB guys for trying to kick out the Mayor?
Or maybe they've already been frozen, and it just doesn't matter.
Or maybe she doesn't want to take on the 50,000 watt blowtorch that is KFAB.
In any case, we are already enjoying the Amoura Press Shop's efforts at outreach.
Exhibit A: The Mayor's hostage "Thanksgiving" tape.
Did you see that?
ICYMI, please do take a look:
(Btw, way to keep it in the family Aida!)
That's some serious teleprompter reading. Next to him, you can see Mrs. Suttle blinking out the morse-code for "Rescue Me Now!".
And the Mayor's message? "Gee whiz, I'm just working SO hard that I have had a hard time getting my message out to you about how awesome I am!"
Reallllly Aida? My that's some subtle script you put together there (no pun intended).
It's right up there with the interview response to the "what are your faults" question. "Oh, sometimes I just work too hard and too late."
How about some Homer Simpson honesty? "Well, it takes me a long time to learn anything, I'm kind of a goof-off, little stuff starts disappearing from the workplace..."
Or, "I lie to the voters in my campaigns, I raise taxes instead of finding other alternatives, I make questionable hires.."
Looking forward to some court news tomorrow!

In this classic paper, Sakai proves the following Radon-Nikodym theorem:
Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra, and let $\phi$ and $\psi$ be two normal positive linear functionals on $M$. If $\psi \leq \phi$, then there is a positive operator $t_0\in M$ such that $0 \leq t_0 \leq 1$, and $\psi(x) = \phi(t_0 x t_0)$ for all $x \in M$.
The paper provides no uniqueness result. One would naively expect that any two such operators $t_0$ and $t_1$ would satisfy $\phi((t_1-t_0)^2)=0$. I can find no such statement in the literature. Is this true?
Please note that $\phi$ is not assumed to be faithful.

Low interest rates are forcing investors to take additional risk in the equity market. Scott Siegel of J.P. Morgan Securities is advising clients to stick with fixed income. He's still finding value in shorter-duration high-yield corporate bonds.

In the preceding post I talked about how a sutra is also used an amulet. This can be a traditional sutra or a miniature sutra. Each of these sutras will definitely be a protective amulet, but more than that they also have different peripheral blessings that they bestow to anyone who has them.
All sutras offers some blessings when one read it, but when use as a sutra some are more powerful than others, only because the Buddha himself has made it as such. Don't get me wrong all are powerful but the Buddha himself has indirectly assigned specific additional blessings in some of these sutras. These additional blessings are mentioned in the actual teachings of the Buddha as stated in the sutra itself.
Some of these sutras that are considered really powerful are THE DIAMOND OF PERFECT WISDOM SUTRA, THE MEDICINE BUDDHA SUTRA, THE GOLDEN LIGHT SUTRA and THE SUTRA OF THE PAST VOWS OF EARTH STORE (KSITIGARBHA) BODHISATTVA.
As I said one of the most powerful sutra is "THE DIAMOND OF PERFECT WISDOM SUTRA", (also called "The Vajra Cutter Perfection of Wisdom Sutra" or "The Vajra Sutra" or "The Vajra Cutter Sutra" or "The Diamond Sutra). According to the Buddha, as stated in the said sutra when one recites and comprehends the said sutra one's merits or blessings will exceed that of person who fills a trichiliocosm with the seven jewels and gives them away in charity. It will be difficult for me to explain a trichiliocosm but that should be tremendous amount of merits.
Paragraph 11: "Subhuti, what do you think? If a person fills a trichiliocosm with the seven jewels and gives them away in charity, wouldn't the merit attained by this person be great?" Subhuti said, "Extremely great, World Honored One. Why? The nature of merit is empty; therefore the Tathagata says that this merit is great." The Buddha said: "But if a person comprehends and follows even a four-line verse of this sutra, and teaches it to others, this person's merit would exceed that of the former example. Why? Subhuti, all buddhas and all of their teachings on unsurpassed complete enlightenment originate from this sutra.
Paragraph 19: "Subhuti, what do you think? If there were as many Ganges Rivers as the grains of sand in the Ganges, wouldn't the amount of sand contained in all those Ganges Rivers be great?" Subhuti said, "Extremely great, World Honored One. If even the number of the Ganges Rivers is innumerable, how much more so their grains of sand?" "Subhuti, now I tell you truthfully: If a good man or good woman fills as many trichiliocosms as the grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers with the seven jewels, and gives them away in charity, wouldn't this merit be great?" "Extremely great, World Honored One." The Buddha said to Subhuti: "If a good man or good woman is able to comprehend and follow a four-line verse of this sutra and teach it to others, their merit will be far greater."
You might be wondering what has merits to do with protection and blessings. A merit is another term for good karma, so simply reciting and understanding THE DIAMOND SUTRA creates unbelievable merits for us.
Allow me to share a short story about somebody who has greatly benefited from THE DIAMOND SUTRA as shared by my Guru Lama. This is the story of an illiterate Tibetan who was born in exile in India. Kunchen is the second son of a family who left Tibet for India at that time China was attempting to assassinate the Dalai Lama. His family supposedly left Tibet 2 years after the Dalai Lama left.
I won't go into details how difficult it is for Tibetans to live in a country whose climate is totally different from them, or at least, where they were assigned by the Indian Government, which is in Dharamsala. Kunchen's older brother, who was born in Tibet, was put in a monastery so that he can become a monk, something that is quite a common practice amongst Tibetan Buddhists.
Kunchen became the eldest, and all he remembers that his father has to go to a different place to work, so it was left to his mom and Kunchen to run the house. Kunchen has 2 more younger siblings. Kunchen had a difficult life and so when he reached 18 he decided to leave his family and took his to get work in other parts of India.
Kunchen, found himself working from one employer to another. He seems to be a skilled worker and can easily learn new things, however, it seems his biggest problem that he seems to have a deep-seated anger that he was born poor and somehow without any particular reasons he has detested all his employers.
Soon Kunchen got married and had sons and daughters of his own. He and wife both had to work to make ends meet, and still Kunchen can't hold a job for more than three years. Although he still considered himself as Buddhist, most Tibetans are and can't see themselves otherwise, he has never practiced his faith.
Kunchen seems to unable stop problems from arising also. His eldest son had an accident and became bedridden, and then her daughter was sexually molested by an Indian neighbor and she became a mother at 15 years of age. On top of that, money seems to be always a problem, and while Kunchen has always been drinking liquor, these two incidents made him more dependent in alcohol.
It was at this time that Kunchen's wife tried to look for her mother – in – law whom she has never met. You have to understand the mentality of the Tibetan women or wives, once they got married if they have a problem they normally will seek out the parents of their husbands and not their own mothers. And this is what Kunchen's wife deed. It took a long time for her to track down her in – laws because Kunchen has stopped communicating with them.
When Kunchen's mom got the letter she immediately decided to go and pay visit Kunchen a visit. One of her grandsons went with her, but at that time Kunchen's father had already passed away.
After the initial emotions of seeing each other for a long time, Kunchen's mother encouraged them to go home with her. She is still in Dharamsala but their life is so much better now, but maybe out of shame for abandoning his family, Kunchen wouldn't hear of any of it. Because she cannot do anything for them other than to give them some monetary help, she talked to the wife of Kunchen and confirmed that they are still basically Buddhist. She then left with them a book, a traditional sutra, and told them to place it on their altar. The daughter then claimed that both she and Kunchen are unable to read. The mother then informed her that it doesn't matter and to just put the book on their altar. That book, Kunchen and her wife alter found out is a copy in a traditional sutra form of THE DIAMOND OF PERFECT WISDOM SUTRA.
According to my Guru Lama, Kunchen claimed that as soon as he received the traditional sutra, things started to get better. Now, at the age of more than 60, and even he still can't read, Kunchen and his wife owns several businesses. His grandson from her daughter who bore the child at 15 was the one who helped them run their business. Kunchen made sure all his grandchildren are able to go to school, and they help him with reading the documents but Kunchen and his wife makes the decisions. Of course, now that his grandchildren are older they get to make decisions also.
Kunchen swears that it was THE DIAMOND OF PERFECT WISDOM SUTRA left in the house by his mother who started all the good luck. In fact, Kunchen claims that the atmosphere seems altogether became different. Is this feeling psychological?
I think not, because THE DIAMOND SUTRA itself stated that wherever the sutra is, it is as if the Buddha and Buddha's revered disciples were also present. And who are the Buddha's revered disciples, they are the Bodhisattvas or Pratyekabuddhas! This means the place itself becomes holy. In fact, if one recites the sutra, that place should be venerated as a Buddha – shrine. That's how powerful THE DIAMOND SUTRA is. And remember Kunchen nor his wife could have not read this because they are both illiterate.
Paragraph 20: "Furthermore, Subhuti, wherever one teaches or recites so much as a four-line verse of this sutra, that place should be venerated as a Buddha-shrine by heavenly beings, human beings, and asuras in this world. How much more so is the case where one can completely remember, comprehend, and follow this sutra! Subhuti, you should know that such a person has achieved the highest, rarest of accomplishments. Wherever this sutra is present, it is as if the Buddha and the Buddha's revered disciples were also present."
This is indeed one of the most powerful sutra and simply having this will definitely shower upon the holder/owner not only great protection but also wonderful blessings of wealth, health, harmony, and peace.
Paragraph 29: "Subhuti, if a good man or good woman renounces their life for charity in the morning as many times as there are grains of sand in the Ganges, and does likewise at noon and in the evening, continuing thus for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of millions of kalpas; and if someone else hears this teaching and gives rise to unwavering faith, the merit of the latter would far exceed that of the former. How much more the merits of those who transcribe, recite, remember, follow, and explain this sutra to others!
In fact, if you have this sutra, the Buddha has instructed that heavenly beings and asuras, aside from human being should come and make offerings. That shows how holy and powerful and important this sutra is. That is also the reason why it should be put on the altar or on a high clean dry place. It should never be put on the floor, or chair, or bed, or dining table.
Paragraph 30 Sentence 5: Subhuti, wherever this sutra is present, all the heavenly and human beings and asuras in all the worlds should come and make offerings. You should know that its presence is equivalent to a pagoda that all should venerate and pay homage to, by circumambulating or scattering flowers and incense around its grounds."
Paragraph 43: "Subhuti, if a person accumulates the seven jewels into mounds equivalent to all Mt. Sumerus in the worlds of a trichiliocosm and gives them away in charity, and another person recites, remembers, followed, and teaches this prajna paramita sutra or even a four-line verse of this sutra to others, the merit of the former would not be a hundredth, or even a billionth, of that of the latter. In fact, the merit of the latter would be so great that no comparison, by calculation or by analogy, could possibly be made."
In my future posts, I will talk about stories of people who have benefitted simply by having this sutra at home.

- "There's an order that The World desires, then there's the order that you desire. Which one should it take, Balmung?"
- — Helba —
Helba (ヘルバ, Heruba) is an infamous hacker that appears throughout the parts of the .hack series in The World R:1
Helba is a surprisingly tall female character that wears revealing clothing. She dons head-wear similar to a priest's cap that covers her eyes. Her normally masked face is revealed in the second volume of XXXX.
Helba is always calm, collected, and confident in what she does. She also puts on a mysterious persona and acts suspiciously around her so-called allies. She always seems to know more than she's revealing.
Basic Info
Nothing is known about Helba except for the fact that she is a professional hacker who takes her work very seriously. Though she uses a female persona, it is not known whether she is actually female, or even whether she is just one person. She is very active on the Japanese servers of The World however, leading many to believe that she is Japanese.
She enjoys playing mind games and hacking, and finds such things as deleted data particularly interesting. She also has some knowledge of the Epitaph of the Twilight.
In SIGN, Helba gave information to the main characters by giving them hints to get into The Inverted Castle where AI Harald was located. At the later stage, Helba opened a Helba Gate, which gave them access to Net Slum. In Net Slum, they encountered copies of Tsukasa's data as well as Morganna's Guardians. After Aura was awakened by Tsukasa and the party encountered Skeith, Helba ordered them to retreat and deleted the field they were on.
Helba plays a much larger role in the .hack//Games. She interrupts Skeith's attack, preventing him from Data Draining Kite. She later informs Kite about his Data Drain and Gate Hack abilities. Her role consisted of sending subtle hints as well as retrieving deleted data. As Kite defeated more Phases and the true enemy began to reveal itself, Helba would become more actively involved by developing a program to counter the enemy and creating a server in which the final battle would be fought.
.hack//Another Birth
Helba's role in Another Birth is the same as in the Games. Near the end, when they're planning a .hackers get-together, she mentions the possibility of appearing.
Helba makes several appearances throughout XXXX to aid Kite and Cubia in their quest. During a fight with Kite and Balmung against Corbenik, she is attacked and her mask is knocked off. Though not canon, this is the only time Helba's face is ever seen.
In celebration of the victory and the resulting rebirth of Aura, Helba programmed a fireworks celebration in Net Slum, showing a more fun side of herself. She invites characters from SIGN as well as a few of Kite's party. There, she turned down Lios's offer to turn Net Slum into an official Root Town. According to Analysis however, she later reconsiders and Net Slum becomes an official Root Town.
In the opening, the "dancing lady" turns into Helba for reasons unknown. In the end of the special episode, she comes out naked and soothes Orca's and Bear's feelings, as well as tells everyone that she was the one who PKed BT, in order to make the plot more interesting.
.hack//Legend of the Twilight (manga)
Helba's role is significantly smaller in Legend of the Twilight. She only appears in the prologue chapter, in a single panel. Afterward, she never appears in person, only references to her are made. Kazu provides Shugo with a Helba Key to Net Slum, where he would meet with Balmung. Balmung would provide Shugo with the Virus Cores necessary to access the field Aura was in.
.hack//G.U. Games
Helba is mentioned in a message board post during Redemption, referring to her past role as Queen of Net Slum.
If Natsume is recruited through the Chaotic PK sidequest, she will mention Helba if Haseo sends her the Challenge greeting card.
In Reconnection, it is heavily implied that Helba was the creator of the Netslum, as in a conversation with Zelkova he will say that the Netslum was created by a lone super-hacker over ten years ago.
See Helba (LINK)
- Helba joins Kite's party at level 99 with a hacked level 93 weapon called 8 Wise Men after Quarantine has been cleared.
- Helba is the only player that joins Kite with maxed out stats.
- Helba is the only character that moves by hovering.
- According to .hack//Archives_03 LIGHT EDITION her character model stands at 185 CM, or roughly 6'0, the same as Orca and Marlo.
- Both the English and the Japanese VA also did the voices of Kaoru Asaba from Liminality and Emma Wielant in .hack//Games.
- Helba shares her English VA with Bordeaux in .hack//G.U..
- In the .hack//Game Music Best Collection a member of the sound team confirms that their director told them Helba is married to Lios and to make their music themes work together.

Temperature swings mean big business for HVAC workers
Temperatures could plunge to freezing by Thursday
Summer-like temperature will soon be replaced by wintertime temperatures, making it a busy time for those who keep people comfy in their homes.
With temperatures on Tuesday soaring to nearly 90 degrees outside, many people flipped on their air-conditioning units only to find them dead on arrival.
"We've taken a couple hundred inbound calls, people freaking out, hitting the panic button on not having cooling," said Brian Leech, owner of Service Legends.
"Today it's 80, and Thursday it'll be 30 -- 50-degree swings -- awesome," said Chris Gesink, a technician with Service Legends.
Leech said it has been busy since the business opened Tuesday morning, which means plenty of work for his employees.
Every heating and cooling company in town, on the first 85- or 90-degree day, they're going to end up booking out two weeks, just like that, snap of the finger," Leech said.
People rely on experienced technicians like Gesink to get their complex cooling systems back up and running quickly.
"A lot of parts going bad -- first time kicking them on, dirty filters and systems needing maintenance," he said.
Forty-eight hours from now, chances are Gesnick will be examining furnaces again as temperatures drop back near freezing.
"I don't even know what to think about that," he said. "That's Iowa for you, I guess."
"If we get snow the next few days, which is very possible with Iowa and the forecast, if we get snow, people will be kicking their furnaces on, if they don't work, likely they're going to say 'you know what, I'll just wait until fall.' That'd be my guess," Leech said.
Service Legends said a vast majority of its calls are due to a lack of maintenance, which is why technicians recommend homeowners change their filters often and make sure their system is properly maintained. Experts say filters should be checked monthly and replaced as necessary, and to get both the furnace and air conditioner checked at least once a year.

For Release Worldwide: September 2012
Release Number: 317PR12
Caterpillar announces Cat® Detect Personnel, a personnel proximity detection system designed to enhance the safety of workers around longwall systems and continuous miners. Personnel is part of the Detect capability set of Cat MineStar™ System, which incorporates fully integrated technology products used to optimize productivity, enhance safety and improve machine utilization and uptime for underground and surface mining operations.
Using radio frequency identification (RFID) tags worn by personnel and detection units mounted on mining machines, Cat Detect Personnel (Personnel) accurately and reliably identifies the presence of people on a longwall or near a continuous miner and transmits personnel location information to the machine control system. The control system then takes appropriate actions—such as inhibiting machine movement and providing warning signals—when necessary to avoid potentially unsafe situations.
Personnel for longwall systems includes equipping each roof support with a detection unit, which transmits data to the control system governing automated roof support advance. In the case of the Cat PMC®-R (Programmable Mining Control for roof supports) electrohydraulic control system, Personnel would delay advancing roof supports when people are detected in the affected area. The PMC-R controls have a bright 180-degree LED warning light and an acoustic alarm to indicate that roof support movement is pending.
Cat Detect Personnel for continuous miners is in development. The system detects the presence of people within a certain distance of the machine and in potentially unsafe locations. When appropriate, the system provides a warning signal to such personnel and the machine operator and inhibits machine movement until the area is cleared.
Each RFID tag worn by underground personnel incorporates a battery-powered transponder, essentially a transmitter and receiver. Each tag also has an identifier that is configurable with software to suit the needs of the mine. The tag could be configured, for example, to identify each person wearing a tag in the mine and/or to identify the wearer's job title and specialized skills. That information could be transmitted to the longwall gate ends and to a mine office underground or on the surface for use in scheduling and assignment of personnel.
Both the tags and readers are small and intrinsically safe. The tags are easy to wear, and the readers are easy to install on equipment, because no explosion-proof enclosures are needed. Both the tags and readers have very low power consumption. Most important, the system is highly accurate, and the longwall system—because each roof support controller acts as the local controller—has no delay, unlike systems that rely on communications via gate end controls to process data. The software is flexible and offers plug-and-play capability with the Cat PMC-R longwall controls.
Caterpillar is committed to helping customers protect the health and safety of their workers, and Personnel is designed to do just that. Cat Detect Personnel for longwall systems is being tested in underground operations in the USA and Europe, and commercial availability is expected in the fourth quarter of 2012. Cat Detect Personnel for continuous miners is in development. To learn more about Detect and other tools within Cat MineStar System, go to: https://mining.cat.com/miningtechnology

Instead of waking up to a new streaming media service from Microsoft this weekend, eager users will have to wait a week or so after it emerged the ambitious launch has been delayed.
According to The Telegraph, the Spotify rival was due to go live at the end of July, but problems with setting up the free service have pushed that back by at least a week.
Advertising funded
While not much is known about the MSN-branded service, it will feature both music and video and will be supported by advertising.
MSN Executive Producer Peter Bale admitted he was still trying to work out the details: "We are looking at how other similar businesses have structured their business models and trying to figure out what will work best for both consumer and Microsoft."

Maybe it's because I recently re-watched the final season of LOST. Maybe it's because I keep going back to the Book of Genesis and rereading the Creation Story and the Fall over and over again. Maybe it's because I recently have been revisiting my own spiritual reawakening, making peace with what led up to it and with the me of who I was before this reawakening.
Whatever the reason, I have found myself thinking about Eden a lot. Especially in terms of how the Biblical Eden relates to the false Edens we construct around ourselves.
Our hearts and minds finally connect and "get" the need for salvation when we understand and accept that our lives are NOT in Eden; when we understand and accept that everything in our lives is not perfect, and that not all our needs are met. We may try (and God knows, we do try) to act as if everything is perfect, and that we have everything we need. We have money. Power. Prestige. Respect. The right everything: car, family, friends, social circle, house, home A/V system, clothes – you name it.
But eventually, we eat of the fruit that opens our eyes. And at that point, in that instant we realize that the Paradise we thought we were in is instead Wilderness.
For me, my fruit was a mirror. A literal mirror that one day I looked into and I finally had to accept the fact that the person in the reflection was not who I wanted to see. Oh sure – the outside looked great (please; like there was ever a doubt), but for the first time in a long time, on that day I looked deeper. I saw things reflected that were not as easily detectable to someone looking at me. I took a look in me.
And man – did I find some Wilderness there. Barren. "Scorched Earth," to be exact. I had allowed everything to be burned down, and I was guilty of throwing some Molotov Cocktails at my own heart.
It's been said that the Fall of man was in some ways "a heart-level betrayal between committed friends: between God and man. At issue in the tragedy of the garden is a relational crime." For me, it was a failed relationship that led to me failing my relationship with God. I chose to start calling my wilderness a paradise instead of seeing it for the all-too-populated-with-snakes danger zone that it was. I continually and intentionally turned as far and as fast as I could from the Voice calling out to me. I didn't necessarily hide because I was ashamed of being naked; I hid because I just didn't want to answer Him, because in doing so, I would have had to face the questions that I had been avoiding.
One of the best, most striking visuals used in a number of episodes of LOST was an extreme close-up on a character's eye as they woke up. One of the most heart-wrenching moments in the series finale (SPOILER ALERT) was when the characters began to wake up from the false, "perfect" reality they had constructed for themselves. They may have been living in the reality that they thought was everything they ever wanted, but something happened to cause them to become aware of the Eden awaiting them.
Love, between individuals, sparked an awakening.
And eyes were opened.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why I connected with the stories on this show as much as I did (other than the fact that every freaking character on the show had father issues): they were broken and flawed, and in need of an awakening.
And into Eden. The Eden they were meant to live in.

Feedback for Search features on Strava
We hear a ton of feedback around searching on Strava, especially when it involves Activities and Routes. Below are some of the most popular requests for search improvements on Strava. Please add your thoughts and feature requests as a comment here!
Search or Explore feature for Strava Routes
Similar to the Segment Explore feature, this would provide an interactive map-based search for Strava Routes in an area. Add filters by elevation, distance, time to narrow the search. What other filters or search criteria would be helpful for Routes?
Map-based Explore feature for Activity Search
Similar to an Explore feature for routes, how can a map view enhance Activity searching on Strava? Could the Strava Global heatmap be leveraged to help visualize where to search for Activities?
Search Activities by Date Range
The current Activity Search feature does not support searching for a specific date range, for example 'this year' or 'this month'. Searching by date range would make it easier to find Activities for a certain event or time.
Activity/Route Search by Following or Clubs
Only search Activities or Routes of those you're following or from members of a certain Club.
Improve the Search features for "My Activities"
- Filter my Activities by shoes or bikes: Search my activities based on a specific piece of gear
- Add a sort column for Average Speed or Average pace from "My Activities"
- Search for keywords in Activity descriptions, add an Activity hashtag system for searchability

I've always considered myself a feminist, ever since I was a little girl. I've seen feminism evolve over time, having most of my feminism honed by the third wave of feminism when my fellow Generation X-ers began to make their mark in the early 1990s. This was a time of Riot Grrrl, 'zines, girls picking up instruments and kicking out the jams in bands like Bratmobile, Heavens to Betsy and Bikini Kill. Young women read books like Backlash and The Beauty Myth, and realized when it came to feminism, we still had a lot of work to do. A new teen magazine called Sassy celebrated feminism and soon two other magazines, both which can be found at any major bookstore in 2016, emerged. One magazine named Bust and the other named Bitch: A Feminist Response to Pop Culture.
And that brings us to Andi Zeisler's latest book We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrrl to CoverGirl®, the Buying and Selling of a Political Movement. Zeisler is a founding member of Bitch. And boy (um, grrrrl) does she have a lot to say about the current state of feminism, and how it has evolved and devolved in the last twenty-odd years.
Yes, women today definitely have more rights than they had as little as a hundred years ago. We can vote, run for office, get an education, run a company, compete in a sport, get credit in our own names, make reproductive choices and so many other things our foremothers couldn't even comprehend. But for all the rights feminism has gained, these hard won rights are being contested and chipped away on a daily basis, one being our access to proper reproductive health services. And still others scoff over our concerns regarding rape, sexual harassment, equal pay for equal work, and domestic violence. To make sure we don't lose these rights we have a lot of nitty-gritty work to do, which includes everything from contacting our political representatives to raising funds for our favorite female-friendly causes.
And believe me, none of this is easy, fun or pretty. It's a lot of hard work and can be very frustrating. So why worry about doing any of hard work of feminism when we can justify our feminist street cred by using market place feminism to become empowered women? And we become empowered not by voting or writing an op-ed in favor of feminism, but by purchasing the right yogurt, underpants or following celebrities via social media, many who seem to use feminism as a way to further publicize their "brand."
We Were Feminists Once is divided into two wonderfully written and well-researched parts. Part One, The New Embrace, focuses on how feminism is seen through the lens of Hollywood, celebrity worship, the products we buy, and various forms of pop culture. Part Two, The Same Old Normal, revisits the waves of feminism and how all this market place empowerment is harming women in the long run even though it's supposed to make feminism look fun and cool because apparently wearing a pair of panties with the word Feminist on them is more empowering than maintaining my access to birth control.
Still, Zeisler is quick to point out, marketplace feminism isn't exactly something new. It's been around since the advent of Madison Avenue and furthered sharpened by unfettered capitalism and neo-liberal thinking. Several decades ago market place feminism was expressed by Virginia Slim cigarettes telling us "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" and perfume ads for Charlie and Enjoli. Today we have Dove soap's "Real Beauty" ad campaigns, Sheryl Sandberg's admonishments to "Lean-In" and Beyoncé, Emma Watson and Lena Dunham's embracing feminism as the thing all the cool girls are doing,. Yea, it's great so many celebrities identify as feminists, but feminism goes much deeper than the fame, wealth and privilege these ladies all share. Feminism also encompasses the intricacies of race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation none of which market place feminism examines.
Zeisler writes in a way that is audience-friendly, but not dumbed down. She writes in a way that is never preachy but explains in depth the harm of market place feminism and how it impedes the actual hard work of feminism. Zeisler doesn't offer any clear cut solutions but recognizing there is a problem is a first step, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who read this book and said, "I thought I was the only one bothered by market place feminism!"
In the end We Were Feminists Once fully exposes how marketplace feminism is nothing but "you go, girl" advertisements, a collection of hashtags and sound bites, celebrity worship, pop culture slim pickings and more power at the cash register than at the voting booth. Feminism, women and society as a whole deserve so much more.

With arguably one of the most talented fields to ever grace Monster Energy Supercross, you're not supposed to be able to do what Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto has done. The two-time defending 450SX champion left his mark in Toronto, and it came at the expense of title contenders Davi Millsaps (Rockstar Energy Racing) and Ryan Dungy (Red Bull KTM). Following his fourth consecutive win, and five of the last six, Villopoto has taken command of the championship to the tune of a 12-point lead over Millsaps.
After it was announced earlier in the night that Toronto would be his last supercross race for a while, due to a linger knee problem that will require surgery, TwoTwo Motorsports' Chad Reed was looking to go out with a bang. The Australian squeezed out Millsaps to grab the early lead, but the likes of Villopoto, Dungey, and Stewart were all lurking.
Chad Reed would lead early, but eventually fell back to finish fourth.
Simon Cudby photos
James Stewart dominated his heat but couldn't find the spark in the main.
Ryan Dungey lost more ground in the championship after a third in Toronto.
Davi Millsaps held the lead early, but eventually finished runner-up to Ryan Villopoto.
Four in a row for Ryan Villopoto.
Following the loss of the red plate, and facing a 9-point deficit to a red-hot Villopoto, Millsaps knew he needed to take advantage of his good start. The Rockstar Energy backed rider sprinted to the lead early, after Reed made a mistake and was unable to triple the rhythm section. Millsaps tried to run away, but Villopoto had a different thought in mind as he made an aggressive inside pass on Reed after the whoops. While Villopoto was beginning to pressure Millsaps for the lead, Dungey had made his way around Reed and was joining the Millsaps and RV lead party.
RV continued to be aggressive with Millsaps early, showing him his front wheel on more than one occasion. This would allow Dungey to close in on the duo. Meanwhile, after a dominating performance in his heat race, Stewart was unable to find the same mojo in the main and was never able to make a serious run at the leaders, eventually finishing seventh after stalling late in the race.
At the midway point, Villopoto was just too much for Millsaps, as he made an aggressive pass after the finish line to take the lead for the first time all night. Dungey looked to make the move around Millsaps as well, but stalled right before the triple and lost third to Reed, a spot he would eventually gain back, and significant time on Millsaps. Villopoto would cruise to his fourth consecutive win, with Millsaps, and Dungey rounding out the podium. Justin Barcia made a hard charge to capture fifth, with Jake Weimer, Stewart, Broc Tickle, Andrew Short, and Matt Goerke rounding out the top ten.
GEICO Honda's Wil Hahn entered Toronto with a 9-point lead over a streaking Marvin Musquin (Red Bull KTM), but Musquin clearly had the momentum on his side after back-to-back wins in Daytona and Indianapolis, respectively. The Frenchman continued to ride his hot streak in Toronto, leading start to finish to capture his third straight victory.
Jeremy Martin bounced back with a fourth in Toronto.
Blake Wharton held off a late charge from Martin to round out the podium.
Wil Hahn would finish second, but still holds the points lead.
Marvin Musquin made it three in a row in Toronto.
Jimmy Decotis joined Musquin up front early with Blake Wharton, Wil Hahn, Vince Friese and Canada's own Cole Thompson in tow. Decotis would crash early, which lead to a seventh place finish. Wharton would take over second, but soon had company in the form of a hard charging Hahn. The points leader would eventually make his way around Wharton, lessening the points damage. The top three were spread out throughout the race, but the battle for third would heat up late. Following a sub-par start, Star Racing rookie Jeremy Martin made a hard charge at Wharton late in the race, pressuring the veteran over the final three laps before a last ditch effort at the finish line fell short. But the finish line melee was far from over. Thompson, who was engaged in a heated battle with Friese for fifth all night, made a hard, aggressive pass at the finish, slamming Friese, as the two became tangled with Friese's leg stuck in Thompson's bike. The two collided on the face of the finish line and actually crossed at the same time. Initially fifth was awarded to Thompson, but the ruling was later overruled with Friese being awarded the spot. Decotis, Gavin Faith, Jackson Richardson and Kyle Peters would round out the top ten.
With his win, Musquin now trails Hahn by six points heading into the week break for Easter. Monster Energy Supercross continues on April 6 in Houston.

It's time to go back, way back, 5000 years before the Greeks to look at the mankind's original civilization -- Mesopotamia. The word is Greek for "between the rivers", describing the ancient settlements between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now Iraq. Before we discuss the ancient culture, let's review the geography, which is fundamental to the development of human society in this particular location. The map below highlights the geography and marks the key cities during the late Neolithic Period.
Geographically, there are three main elements: mountains, steppe, and alluvial plain. Around 7,000 B.C, agriculture was introduced in the steppe and, a thousand years later, mixed herding and farming communities were well-developed. Farming had taken root there because there was adequate rainfall to support a full growing season. Then, by 5,000 B.C, settlers began to move down into the plain, utilizing irrigation to grow their crops. Knowledge of irrigation was probably adapted from techniques successfully developed in the steppe. The alluvial geography facilitated farming in a way that no other geography in the world was able to do. Undoubtedly, it was combination of fertile soil, availability of water, and the absence of stone, that made the difference. This same combination existed in Egypt, which would become the second great human culture.
The rivers not only provided the food to sustain the lives of the people, but were also transportation arteries providing access to the world through trade and the ability to ship important raw materials to destination cities.
While the plain was protected from invasion to the west because of desert, the Zagros Mountains were not high enough to prevent invasions from the north and east. This vulnerability would have a significant impact on the future development of the Mesopotamian Civilization.
Baghdad is shown on the map as a geographical reference only. It was not founded until 700 A.D.

PersistenceManagers perform several actions
that affect the lifecycle state of persistence-capable instances.
Each of these actions is represented by multiple methods in the
PersistenceManager interface: one method
that acts on a single persistence-capable object, such as
makePersistent, and corresponding methods
that accept a collection or array of persistence-capable objects,
such as
public Object makePersistent (Object pc); public Collection makePersistentAll (Collection pcs); public Object[] makePersistentAll (Object[] pcs);
Transitions transient instances to persistent-new, and creates managed
copies of detached objects. This action can
only be used in the context of an active transaction. On the next
flush or commit, the newly persisted instances will be inserted into
the datastore, and changes to the detached instances will be flushed to
the corresponding datastore records. If you attempt to attach an
instance whose representation has changed in the datastore since
detachment, the
makePersistent operation will
throw an exception, or the transaction in which you perform the
attachment will fail on commit, just as if a normal optimistic conflict
were detected. If the attach process fails, the
flag is set on the current transaction.
For each argument,
makePersistent[All] returns
the argument instance if it was transient, or a managed copy of the
argument instance if it was detached. Thus, when attaching objects, it
is important to use the returned copies rather than continuing to
act on the detached objects.
public void deletePersistent (Object pc); public void deletePersistentAll (Collection pcs); public void deletePersistentAll (Object[] pcs);
Transitions persistent instances to persistent-deleted, or persistent-new instances to persistent-new-deleted. This action, too, can only be called during an active transaction. The given instances will be deleted from the datastore on the next flush or commit.
public void makeTransient (Object pc); public void makeTransientAll (Collection pcs); public void makeTransientAll (Object[] pcs);
This action transitions persistent instances to transient. The
instances immediately lose their association with the
PersistenceManager and their JDO
identity. The datastore records for the instances are not modified.
This action can only be run on clean objects. If it is run on a dirty
object, a
JDOUserException is thrown.
public void makeTransactional (Object pc); public void makeTransactionalAll (Collection pcs); public void makeTransactionalAll (Object[] pcs);
Use this action to make transient instances transient-transactional, or to bring persistent-nontransactional instances into the current transaction. In the latter case, the action must be invoked during an active transaction.
public void makeNontransactional (Object pc); public void makeNontransactionalAll (Collection pcs); public void makeNontransactionalAll (Object[] pcs);
Transitions transient-clean instances to transient, and
persistent-clean instances to persistent-nontransactional. Invoking
this action on a dirty instance will result in a
public void refresh (Object pc); public void refreshAll (Collection pcs); public void refreshAll (Object[] pcs); public void refreshAll (); public void refreshAll (JDOException je);
Use the
refresh action to make sure
the persistent state of an instance is synchronized with the
values in the datastore.
is intended for long-running optimistic transactions in
which there is a danger of seeing stale data.
Calling the
refreshAll method
with no parameters acts on all transactional objects in
PersistenceManager cache. If there is no
transaction in progress, the method is a no-op.
Calling the
refreshAll method
with a
JDOException refreshes the failed object
held by the exception, and recurses on all nested exceptions.
public void retrieve (Object pc); public void retrieveAll (Collection pcs); public void retrieveAll (Object[] pcs); public void retrieveAll (Collection pcs, boolean fgOnly); public void retrieveAll (Object[] pcs, boolean fgOnly);
Retrieving a persistent object immediately loads all of the object's
persistent fields with their datastore values. You might
use this action to make sure an instance's fields are
fully loaded before transitioning it to transient. Note,
however, that this action is not recursive. That is, if
object A has a relation to object B, then passing A to
retrieve will load B, but will not
necessarily fill B's fields with their datastore values.
fgOnly to true will ensure that the fields
in the current fetch groups are loaded, but may not load other fields.

The Story Of The Nurse Who Won $3,417 Overnight.
I was just talking to Jack and Michael of NEO2.
They told me a story that warmed my heart…
… About a Nurse who thought she'd never work again. Until she discovered ==>THIS<==
The story is, Mrs. Wilson had a bad leg injury. Doctors thought she might never work again.
While she was on sick leave, she got an invite to participate in NEO^2 beta testing. She saw that other people were making $2000 a more a day, so she said, 'why not'. After all, participation was completely, 100% FREE.
Within 60 minutes of signing up, she scored $3,417.
Now she is trading daily, and wouldn't go back to work if you doubled her salary!
Follow the ==>link<== to find out how this can happen to you.
P.S. Stories like this are happening every day… Regular people making their dreams come true… But an opportunity like this doesn't last forever.

Cable TV Service in Scotland
Cable television services in Scotland have changed the analog TV landscape but the changes are even more prominent in the world of digital television. While analog TV generally offers between 30 and 50 stations, digital cable TV allows viewers to access hundreds of channels.

A temperature transmitter is used to transmit the measured temperature as an analogue signal to a receiver.
A temperature transmitter transmits a measured temperature as an analogue 0/4–20 mA signal to a receiver. The receiver will typically be an electronic regulator or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
A PLC is a small computer that is not normally able to directly measure electrical signals from a sensor. The temperature transmitter is fitted with a resistor with either PT or NTC resistance.
The terms PT and NTC are abbreviations for positive and negative temperature, and describe whether resistance in the resistor is increasing or falling as the temperature rises. If a resistance sensor is connected directly to the receiver, the resistance in the wire between the two components is also measured and will give a false reading. The bias is dependent on the length of the wire and the ambient temperature.
Temperature transmitters are used to avoid voltage loss, or when a regulator or PLC cannot directly measure the signal from a resistance sensor.

The Senate Banking Committee is "tentatively" looking at the week of March 11 for a confirmation hearing with Mary Jo White, President Barack Obama's choice as the next head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a Senate aide told AdvisorOne Monday night.
Once the Senate Banking Committee has its hearing, the full Senate can confirm her the very next day, or a day later, so White could replace current SEC Chairwoman Elisse Walter by mid-March.
One comment from an SEC official at the SEC Speaks conference in Washington on Friday put Mary Jo White's presence at the agency at "30 days" away.
Walter declined to give a timeline after her speech at the SEC Speaks event on when a fiduciary rule proposal to put brokers under a fiduciary mandate would be released, stating only that the fiduciary issue was "very important" to her. White's arrival at the agency puts a big question mark on how the agency will move forward with a fiduciary rule.

The cornerstone of Webfleet Solutions' commitment to information security is our set of security policies and programmes. Based on our rigorous risk management programme our policy aligns security with operations across the following topics:
A detailed set of security policies designed to provide management direction and support of the information management system and all operational activities with respect to the WEBFLEET Telematics Service Platform.
Information Security is everyone's business.Employment of a full-time information security team to provide compliance and governance of our Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 international standard in addition to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant legislations. All of our employees and external partners play an integral part in supporting the ISMS.
Security in the employment life cycle is critical to ensure that security is emphasized prior, during, and after the termination of employment.
Inventory, ownership, and maintenance of all our assets throughout the life cycle is important to ensure that assets are categorised, labelled, and assigned risk owners to ensure that all assets including those with company IP or customer data are handled in a correct and secure way to maintain security.
Through authentication / authorisation controls and identity management, all access is limited to a need-to-have basis. Additional controls assist to prevent unauthorised access for example system logging and monitoring which provides real-time detection across our security perimeter.
We invest in state of the art hardware and software solutions including proven cryptographic technologies in order to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our customer's data as well as our operational systems.
We place great value on ensuring physical and logical separation is maintained in the WEBFLEET Telematics Service Platform. This includes ensuring that the physical location in which information assets are located are protected from unauthorised access, and that equipment is protected from environmental conditions to prevent the failure of services to our customers.
The protection of physical and virtual assets is critical to a secure telematics solution. This also includes maintaining a secure communications network and the facilities from which the network is hosted for secure transfer of the data between your vehicle and our WEBFLEET Telematics Service Platform backend.
Webfleet Solutions operates two independent data centers in the European Union due to the high level of data protection standards required. Our active / active configuration also ensures the highest availability including full disaster recovery.

In addition, we facilitate the following programmes to secure our engineering perimeter:
Securing the external risks on the edge of our scope helps to ensure that no additional risk is added to the organisation through our partners or suppliers. When possible, we select suppliers who are ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified, as well as actively monitor our suppliers in order to maintain a secure working relationship and to be aware of changes to their environments which could affect our secure operations.
Should a security incident occur, it is important to have an effective approach for managing the incident, which includes the communication to all interested parties, as well as the internal reporting of security weaknesses which help support a secure perimeter.
We manage a detailed Business and Information Security Continuity programme to ensure that the WEBFLEET Telematics Service Platform will be available to our customers even in the event of a disaster. Through our Active/Active data centre configuration, the probability of a major disaster in both centres is unlikely as each centre can maintain our entire operation if necessary which means you can rely on the WEBFLEET Telematics Service Platform service being available when you need it.
Webfleet Solutions utilizes a full time Data Protection Officer (DPO) to advise on data protection matters and oversee compliance with the GDPR as well as other relevant local privacy legislations.
Our ISMS Security team performs regular reviews of legal or security requirements which might have an effect on the WEBFLEET Telematics Service Platform or our information security management system.

There is one thing that I love about this time of year and that is breaking out my Fall wardrobe. Oh how I love my skinny jeans and sweaters! One thing that I was looking to add to my Fall wardrobe this year was scarves. But I have fallen into a cycle lately. I will go to the store and see something that I like, then I will refuse to buy it because I think that I can make it for cheaper. Right now Anthropologie has a plethora of beautiful ruffley scarves at prices that I am unwilling to pay. So I took a chance and created my own.
These were the easiest things to make. Each scarf is 2 yards long by 10 inches wide. I sewed a gathering stitch down the right side of the scarf, then I sewed another gathering stitch down the middle, and then I sewed another on the left side. I added some flowers and done! Both scarves completed during one naptime!
Now I am ready for Fall… scarves and all!

I'd always go with more time. I figure that I am happy with the way I live already, so why chase more money if it means I'd have less time to have fun with it?
However if you feel like giving me so much money that I don't have to work = I'd have more time, I'd be okay with that. 🙂
And apparently they keep making new ones
Brilliant! That's my belief. You could always do things to make more money, but you can always get more time. I'm sorry that didn't rhyme so shoot me, it's not a crime.
I take everything to the extreme, so naturally, I assumed that by more money you meant 10 million dollars!! Umm, yes please. I WANT MORE MONEY! But so I can have the time to do whatever I want, wherever I want. I want to see beauty in every corner of the world before this life is over. Money will allow me to do that, and give me time to see it all! And of course, allow me to bring my loved ones along for the ride!
Money so I could focus my writing skills into compiling the most brilliant letter of resignation the world has ever seen. Choosing more time doesn't make any sense. We all have the same 24 hours each day the world around. And without more money having more time would be a drag!
